Understand the difference between hardware and software
Be able to identify the different components
Starter (10 mins)
Hardware is the physical components of a computer system - anything that can be touched.
Write a list of hardware components that you might find in a computer system (some will be inside the box!) - you should get at least 20.....
Key Words (5 mins)
Task (15 mins)
Create a new document and add the diagram below. Feel free to correct the spelling mistake!
Add the following images to the same page - think about the ones commonly found with any computer system...
2 input devices
1 output device
1 additional storage device
Task (10 mins)
Microprocessor technology is common in our daily lives. Microprocessors are computers, usually on a single chick that are put into devices to perform all of the processing. Any device that runs a program (like your central heating/washing machine/alarm clock) will have a microprocessor
List 20 devices with microprocessors
Task (15 mins)
Software is the programs and operating systems that allow the computer to process tasks and produce the required output.
Add to the mindmap giving example of each type of software (maybe try mind42) - its free and simple to use....
